The realisation you're getting old

[Gunk]

When you don't watch a TV programme because it has sexual content.

I’m obviously not that old then!

You remember when the North American and European continents were 3 metres closer,


isn't just an abstract concept.

and i thought continental drift was just the title of a film.....

When nothing pleases you.Or I might just be in a rut.

The realisation you're getting old....when you use catchphrases from old tv shows, like 'yus my dear'...and realise, no-one is making the connection you are ?

When you turn the TV on for specific programmes and then turn it off when they've finished. People used to do that 50 years ago.

Ranting about neologisms on internet forums - a clear signal of morbidity approaching, mate. Enjoy!

Dunno about you but when we were watching Games of Thrones we used to rate each episode before it started by the number of warnings
nudity, violence etc etc etc
anything less that 4 was probably a dud

any other show hardly ever has one!!!!

When I know threads like this are referring to me.

I used to be a quick walker🚶‍♂️. No one overtook me,apart from those who saw me walking fast and thought they were clever in walking very fast to overtake me,then they'd fall away after about 20 to 30 yards. Now i find myself being overtaken by women with prams. Even OAP's 'scalp' me!.

It's a real shame that the original thread from a couple of years ago eventually descended into these tiny nuggets / examples of what people think makes them old.

It was originally a beautiful story with pathos and whimsy woven into it, a tree growing up and growing old before the OP had a chance to realise that he was part of that tree, and vice versa.

Any of you getting your days confused under this lockdown crap? Last week i thought Saturday was Thursday and yesterday i thought Friday was Thursday!

 

[CanucksTraveller]

I rest my case.

I'm thinking about buying a battery powered 'pensioner' bike.

I thought i might've reached 70 before considering such a thing,but if needs must!
